Employees haven't been shy about pushing back against AI in the workplace. In a clear disconnect, bosses are often gung-ho about the tech, while their underlings are more aware that it often spits out confident-sounding work that on closer inspection is filled with subtle errors that need to be manually corrected.
Managers saw the company's engineers getting more done with the technology, so they needed to ensure new hires could do the same. "We just flipped the script and went, 'OK, we're going to invite you to use AI,'" Brendan Humphreys, Canva's chief technology officer, told Business Insider. The result, he said, has been stronger hires better equipped to wield powerful AI tools to help write code and solve problems.
